1. Internet Data Centre Facility
Signetique uses Webvisions’ state-of-the-art data center (Data Center) located at Science Park.
It is designed to provide an environment necessary to keep your servers running 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.

The Data Center has the following protection systems in place to ensure maximum operation
regardless of the disruption:

Power
The Data Center power system is made up of:

	Commercial Utility Underground Conduits
	N+1 Redundant UPS System
	45 minutes of backup time
	Single 800 Amps incoming power supply switch board
	Dual-feed secondary switchboard and critical load distribution boards
	Backup Diesel Generator

Security
Security is paramount to all our customers. Hence, the Data Center and network has been designed with that in mind. It provides a comprehensive security system that includes:

	Visitation controls
	Visitation logging
	Biometric palm scanner access
	Dedicated ethernet system
	Network monitoring
	Site security guard.

All visitors to the Data Center are identified against a CUSTOMER-defined access control list.
Each visitor is also issued a badge and his entry and exit to the center is logged. Visitors in the Data Center are monitored from an open glass view panel. Each server housed in the Data Center is connected via a dedicated ethernet switch rather than Hubs. This arrangement protects the confidentiality of traffic within our network and ensures no other server housed on our network can tap the data flowing through our network.

Environment

	Raised Flooring
	Environmental management systems
	Down throw precision air-conditioning systems
	Individual Rack Level Circuit Breaker

The Data Center is equipped with multiple units of conditioning units, a complete FM-200 fire
suppression system, a complete smoke detection system and alarm system. Each rack is
also earth-grounded and has its own individual circuit breaker for that extra redundancy.

2. Network Infrastructure

Internal Infrastructure
The Data Center is 100 percent powered by state of the art Cisco switches and routers. Each of our CUSTOMERs’ servers plugs directly into our Cisco Catalyst 5509 switches and Cisco 7709 Routers. These high end mission-critical equipment will ensure that data gets in and out of our CUSTOMERs' servers at the fastest possible speed. We plug each server into our core switches instead of secondary switches or hubs. This is because in a hub environment, only one computer plugged into it can make use of the network at any one time whereas in a switched environment, every server has a dedicated connection and can at the same time. This results in more data being able to travel through a switch at any one time. In addition, because each computer has its own dedicated connection via a switch, it makes hacking and snooping of sensitive data a little more difficult.

External Infrastructure
The Data Center has currently three connections to STIX (SingTel Internet Exchange) and A-Bone
(Asia Pacific Back Bone) via a 100mbps fibre link to Pacific Internet and an SingNET and UUNET Internet Exchange via an OC-3 ATM link from Singapore ONE broadband network. More connectivity to our data centers will be added as we grow.

By connecting to multiple Asia Pacific backbones, the network can distribute data out quickly to your CUSTOMERs with the quickest possible time in the shortest possible path. In additional, because we route out via multiple backbones, we are not dependent on any single point of failure. In the event of a failure in one circuit, our network automatically re-routes data to another backbone, thereby ensuring uptime and redundancy for our CUSTOMERs.

The Data Center also deploys BGP4 (Border Gate Protocol). BGP is used only by providers with multiple connections to the Internet. BGP enables a multi-homed provider to setup a truly redundant network. When a failure on a leased line is detected, BGP will automatically close that line and re-route traffic to another connection point.

Network Monitoring
Having top of the line network equipment and BGP isn't enough. We also employs NOCOL
(Network Operations Center Online) to provide 24x7x365 network monitoring. With NOCOL,
the support engineers can monitor each connection point, server or any IP based equipment and escalate a failed system to the immediate attention of any one of our Network Operations staff
available round the clock in the event of an emergency.
